Vacancy: Mechanical Engineer (Machine Building)
High Tech Alliance is a project organisation for innovative mechatronic solutions, where the disciplines of design, technology and knowledge come together and reinforce one another. We develop, design and deliver innovative industrial products and (custom) machines for both the domestic and international market, across a range of industries. Due to our growing number of challenging projects, we are looking to connect with an ambitious Mechanical Engineer for our Valkenswaard location.
Are you the Mechanical Engineer with some experience in machine building who wants to grow and develop further, who enjoys working on innovative and sustainable solutions for society, at an informal, forward-thinking and young organisation with short lines of communication?
Then we would love to talk to you.
Your challenges
As Mechanical Engineer (Machine Building), you will be part of a multidisciplinary project team. From concept development through to delivery, you will be involved both technically and organisationally in the development and realisation of customer-specific machines and technical products.
You contribute creative thinking during the concept phase and go on to shape and work out the concept based on the specifications in a modern 3D CAD environment.
Your responsibilities also include:
- Designing, engineering, drafting and calculating, while being (jointly) responsible for the development of high-quality mechanical and mechatronic machines, modules and technical products;
- Preparing or assisting with drawing up machine or product specifications;
- You act as the technical point of contact and are available to your colleagues with questions during assembly, testing or commissioning at the client, in a guiding role.
- You help out hands-on during the assembly and realisation of the systems in our workshop, and during commissioning at the client;
- Being (jointly) responsible for the design and maintaining good contact throughout the project with those around you, such as the client, project team members and suppliers. The interfaces with mechatronics, electronics, software and production consistently play an important role here;
- Carrying out or assisting with feasibility studies, design and process FMEAs and reviews, and supporting FAT/SAT acceptance testing internally and at the client's site.
I started working at High Tech Alliance because there is still such great diversity here. One moment I'm working on practical mechanical tasks, the next I'm writing software. All of my interests are engaged in my work!
